The article makes more than a few baffling statements beyond the core argument regarding ECS.
The claim of Godot having similar tools as other engines certainly caused me to raise an eyebrow.
The strangest in my mind, however, is trying to downplay the importance of the performance advantages by claiming games with many objects are rare. I currently work on optimising a game which falls somewhere between indie and AAA. We have thousands of objects active at any given time.
I also dislike the statements regarding compute. I love compute shaders and use them whenever I can, but they're basically unusable from a performance perspective on both mobile platforms and Nintendo Switch.
